“…The use of either CT or MRI is recommended for the diagnosis of OCD, but as the subchondral bony defect is the main problem in ankle lesions, 434 CT scans are preferred for preoperative planning because they accurately assess the size of the bony fragment or associated cyst. 129,160 With anterior ankle arthroscopy, vision of only the anterior part of the OCD is initially required. 432 After identification of the anterior border of the defect, it is debrided anteriorly to posteriorly to further expose the defect, followed by microfracturing.…”

“…This is promising as other osteochondral defect treatments with scaffold only [4,8,14] result in the predominant formation of fibrocartilage, which possesses inferior biomechanical properties [6] and would translate to a shorter repair tissue life span [3].…”

Background Management of osteochondritis dissecans remains a challenge. Use of oligo[poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate] (OPF) hydrogel scaffold alone has been reported in osteochondral defect repair in small animal models. However, preclinical evaluation of usage of this scaffold alone as a treatment strategy is limited.Questions/purposes We therefore (1) determined in vitro pore size and mechanical stiffness of freeze-dried and rehydrated freeze-dried OPF hydrogels, respectively; (2) assessed in vivo gross defect filling percentage and histologic findings in defects implanted with rehydrated freeze-dried hydrogels for 2 and 4 months in a porcine model; (3) analyzed highly magnified histologic sections for different types of cartilage repair tissues, subchondral bone, and scaffold; and (4) assessed neotissue filling percentage, cartilage phenotype, and Wakitani scores. Methods We measured pore size of freeze-dried OPF hydrogel scaffolds and mechanical stiffness of fresh and rehydrated forms. Twenty-four osteochondral defects from 12 eight-month-old micropigs were equally divided into scaffold and control (no scaffold) groups. Gross and histologic examination, one-way ANOVA, and one-way Mann-Whitney U test were performed at 2 and 4 months postoperatively. Results Pore sizes ranged from 20 to 433 lm in diameter. Rehydrated freeze-dried scaffolds had mechanical stiffness of 1 MPa. The scaffold itself increased percentage of

“…Despite successful outcomes following BMS for OLT, it is of increasing concern that deterioration of reparative fibrous cartilage tissue is inevitable over time [18][19][20]. Ferkel et al [18] found deterioration of clinical scores in up to 35% of patients within 5 years following BMS.…”

Purpose of review Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) are common injuries in athletes. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively review the clinical results and return to sport capacity in athletes following treatment for OLT. Recent findings Reparative procedures, such as bone marrow stimulation, and replacement procedures, such as autologous osteochondral transplantation, provide good clinical outcomes in short-and mid-term follow-up in the athlete. Recently, biological augmentation and scaffold-based therapies have been shown to improve clinical and radiological outcomes in OLT in both the general population and athletes. Summary Most studies are of a low level of evidence. Studies analyzing the return to sport capability in athletes are further lacking. High-level evidence and well-designed clinical trials are required to establish the most effective treatment protocol.
